This is one of my favorite bands as you can see from the ratings. I have actually offered them an all expense paid trip to Chicago for a private concert that they have so far ignored. This album is just chalk full of 4 star songs with some five star moments. So in short buy the album and enjoy it this embodies everything that makes progressive rock great. I almost gave this a 4.5 star rating but after a fourth listen I decided to go full five stars which I don’t do lightly.
